AI Product Support Team
This role supports early-stage technical research at Piscys, working alongside the CTO to explore concepts related to AI governance, assurance, and system design. The focus is on learning, experimentation, and validation — not production engineering or core platform delivery.
What you’ll support:

Assist with exploratory prototyping and proof-of-concept experiments
Support testing, QA, and validation of early ideas and mock workflows
Document findings, tradeoffs, and open questions for the core team
Help evaluate tools, frameworks, and architectures relevant to AI assurance

Who this is for:
Students or early-career technologists interested in AI, systems, or governance
Comfortable learning in ambiguous, early-stage environments
Familiarity with Python or AI/ML concepts is a plus, but not required
Curious, thoughtful, and reliable over flashy
What you’ll gain:
Direct exposure to how early technical and architectural decisions are made

Practical experience evaluating AI systems responsibly
A strong reference and continued engagement with the team beyond the internship, where appropriate
Why this role exists:
Piscys is intentionally building its foundation carefully. This internship is designed to give motivated learners meaningful exposure to early-stage deep-tech thinking — without placing them inappropriately on production responsibilities.

Join Our Team of Experts
Always Seeking Those Who Share Our Commitment
to Ethical AI and Cybersecurity
Your expertise can drive innovation and make a difference in governance and compliance.
We seek people who:
- Thrive in ambiguity but drive precision.
- Value impact over ego.
- Value collaboration, humility, and rigor in equal measure.
Hiring at Piscys is not a transaction — it’s a commitment. Each new hire is viewed as both a contributor and culture carrier. We optimize not for speed, but for signal: humility, curiosity, and ethical clarity hold equal weight to raw technical horsepower. If alignment falters, we address it early, constructively, and compassionately — ensuring every departure preserves mutual respect. We hire slowly, invest deeply, and part respectfully.
As Piscys grows, formal people systems will be introduced in proportion to headcount and operating maturity. Future culture and people practices are intended to reflect the same principles of transparency, accountability, and evidence that inform the company’s product philosophy.
Future Compensation Principles
As Piscys begins hiring paid employees, the company intends to apply the following compensation principles, subject to operating stage, legal requirements, board governance, and the terms of individual employment arrangements.
- Living Wage Model: Every employee earns at least the local living wage benchmark (based on MIT calculator).
- CEO Pay Ratio: CEO compensation capped at 6× the lowest-paid employee.
- Equity Distribution: Equity tied to long-term contribution and ethical leadership.
This structure aligns human dignity with fiscal prudence: equitable pay lowers turnover costs, transparent progression reduces politics, and capped executive pay builds trust.
